Why TU Darmstadt?
There are many reasons why students choose TU Darmstadt. On this day, Karo 5 was filled with expectations, new friendships and fresh energy.
Many students commute to Darmstadt every day. That may sound exhausting at first, but after a while it becomes routine – and the train ride is simply part of everyday life.
I chose TU Darmstadt because it's close to Frankfurt – that's where I'm from – and because I heard it's very prestigious.

Diversity of degree programmes
TU Darmstadt offers a wide range of bachelor's and master's degree programmes that you won't find everywhere.
I wanted to study biotechnology and biomolecular engineering, and Darmstadt is one of the few universities that offers this degree programme. It's also a very good technical university.

Excellence and practical relevance
Many degree programmes offer practical elements right from the first semester – whether in the university's own laboratories or in cooperation with external companies. This allows students to learn early on how theory and the world of work can be combined.
TU Darmstadt is one of the best universities in Germany.

Student city Darmstadt
Darmstadt has around 170,000 inhabitants – around 40,000 of whom are students. You notice this immediately: you meet other students all over the city, and it's easy to get to know new people.
I think it's cool that Darmstadt is a student city – you can ride your bike everywhere! I also did my bachelor's degree here and really wanted to stay.
Frederick, M.Sc. Geodesy
Darmstadt is compact, lively and full of opportunities – perfect for studying and life outside university.
